HYMAN GERTLEB, 0F MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, AS$IGNOR TO BENJABIIN LEVINSON, OF MONTREAL, CANADA.

BED-FRAME.

Application filed March 18, 1920.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HYMAN GERTLER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and residing at 129 Colonial avenue, in the city and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Bed-Frame, of

which the following is the specification.

The invention relates to bed frames, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists essentially in the novel means employed for connecting the head and foot portions of the bed frame.

The obje-ts of the invention are to eliminate the inconveniences incident to setting up and taking down bed frames; to reinforce the frame generally and thereby insure a stiff frame when set up; and generally to provide a serviceable and durable frame with materially increasing the cost of production.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bed frame set up.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the side bar and fastenings.

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view through a post and bracket, showing a transverse bar broken away.

Fig. 4 is a perspective detail, showing a transverse bar and supporting bracket.

Fig. 5 is a perspective detail, showing the end of a longitudinal side bar broken away to disclose the pin fastening.

Fig. 6 is a perspective detail, showing the bracket for the side and transverse bars as secured to a square end post.

Fig. 7 is a perspetive view of the head and foot portions of the bed frame assembled for storage.

Fig. 8 is an enlarged perspective detail of the connector for storage assembled.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding pants in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is a bracket secured to each of the bed. posts and here shown as formed from a T-bar, which is cut away to form the base 2, which in Fig. 3, is shown as curved inconformance with the shape of the bed post, and in Fig. 6 as fiat in conformance with the shape of'the bed post.

The central section of the T-bar extends beyond the base 2 of the upper end of the latter, and is bent over to form the horizon- Specification of Letters Patent.

tal portion 3 of the bracket, leaving the vertical portion lextending outwardly from the base, the latter having the lug 5, which is formed with the hook end 6, said lug projecting outwardly from the surface of the vertical portion toward the lower end thereof.

The horizontal portion 3 is formed with the pin hole 7 and is rigidly secured by the rivet 8 or other fastening to the transverse bars 9 at the head and foot portions 10' and 11 respectively of the frame.

There are four of the brackets 1, each post having a bracket secured thereto and the transverse bars 9 are preferably in the form of angle bars and in the case of a round bed post, the bars'are split out, as shown at 12 in Fig. 3 and riveted to the base 2, though this is not necessary in the case of a square bed post.

The longitudinal side bars 13 are oined at the ends by the rivets 1% to the brackets 15, said brackets having the pins 16 rigidly secured therein and extending through the longitudinal side bars 13 and adapted to lit into the pin holes 7.

The brackets 15 extend inwardly at 17 and downwardly to form the leaf ,18, said leaf having the slot 19 fitting on to the lug 5 behind the hook end 6. There are four brack ets 15, one at each end of the longitudinal bars 13, said bars preferably being in angle form.

The connectors 20 are short lengths of metal having the pins :21 at the ends which fit into the pin holes 7 and connect the head and foot portions for storage when the longitudinal side bars 18 have been removed.

What I claim is In a bed frame, having posts and connecting bars, secured to each post of the frame and formed of a short piece of T-bar having
